The linen closet is definitely one of the Must Do places. I also Must Do a cupboard we have our pots, pans, baking things & misc cooking things in. Our house is tiny, that one cupboard (with 2 shelves) holds almost all of our cooking gear. We have another one like it that holds glass bowls & the slow cooker, but that one is mostly under control.

What did you do with your give-away towels? I have a bag of some I pulled out at random to go to our local SPCA but they are about a 40 minute drive away in an area we just don't go to, so will have to stash the give away ones until we make a trip there.
